Why Stephen Melville chose Fife

The two luxury eco-cabins were built as a means of diversifying on the 3rd generation family farm.

There is nothing not to love about the area. Seclusion, ease of access and complete peace and tranquility are all available at St Andrews Country Cabins. It is the stunning views towards the Bay of St Andrews and the quiet rural location set amongst the rolling hills of north east Fife, that really set the properties and location apart from others in the area.

What makes this cabin unique

The farm is ideally located just 10 minutes from St Andrews, The Home of Golf, and 15 minutes Dundee, the city of Discovery, and yet it is such a quiet and peaceful location for a holiday. Families can enjoy seclusion, safety and all the benefits of a rural location and the attractions of a quiet mixed farm.

St Andrews offers glorious award winning beaches, abundant historical experiences in the University town and St Andrews is of course The Home of Golf, boasting numerous award wining and championship courses for all.

On the farm there are woodland walks, farm tracks, sheep and horses to admire and a private play park.
